I pulled my hair back into a ponytail before I went out to the kitchen to have my breakfast. My father gave me the apron to start cooking for everyone. I sighed and got to my normal morning job.
"Evelyn! Hurry up would you!" My mother shouted from her bedroom. My parents didn't exactly like me very much, I never knew why. I just wasn't their favourite I guess. My younger brother and sister laughed at me as they got positioned at the dining table. They didn't like me very much either, but I expected that from younger siblings.
Once I had finished making everyone's breakfast, I went to my room to finish packing. I was moving today. I was going to go live with my Uncle Charlie. He was my only uncle on my mother's side, and he actually liked me as far as I knew. He emailed me whenever he could to see how I was, until last week he asked if I wanted to stay with him. He then called my parents and they were more than happy to get rid of me.
From what I knew, Forks was rather cold, the opposite from Los Angeles. My mother was convinced she was a well known actress and that she had to live in L.A. I must say, my family lived pretty well, but it wasn't the way for me.
While I continued to pack, father walked in with an envelope in his hands.
"Don't read it now," He told me. "Read it when you are on the plane." He placed the envelope on top of my handbag and left again. My father and I never really had any type of relationship. We didn't look alike at all. His darkly tanned skin contrasted oddly with my deathly pale colour. My long blonde hair didn't really mix with his dark brown straight hair. I never looked too far into it, but I was hoping the letter would explain some things that I had been curious about my whole life.
The taxi arrived not too long after breakfast and I started packing my things into the trunk. I went up to the door of the house and gave my little brother and sister hugs.
"I will visit hopefully for your birthdays." I told them. This was in a couple of months, they would both be turning eleven.
"Remember, Evie, I was pink shiny lip gloss." Kaitlin told me. I laughed and kissed the top of her head. I gave her makeovers once a week, easily the highlight of her week as she never got to touch my makeup.
"I will remember." I promised. I moved onto Tyson.
"And I want a phone." He said.
"Of course you do," I laughed. "I will try my best." My parents gave me a small hug goodbye and didn't say anything more. I gave them a nod and walked to the taxi to go to the airport.
I imagined that I might be a bit happier living away from them and with my Uncle Charlie. The cooler weather at least will be a plus.
The flight wasn't the most exciting. I didn't know that as a seventeen year old, they would still let me fly by myself. I grabbed the envelope out of my pocket. I looked at it and decided not to open it until I got to Forks. I got myself comfortable in the seat and tried my best to fall asleep for the rest of the plane flight.
A/N: Hey all, I know this first chapter is fairly short, but the second one will be up today. I hope you like it so far. Keep reading and review!
